Glowing Atlas eyes? Really?

That was 2 months back, and I would rather have ghost heat than whatever Russ hinted at at that townhall.

TBH, I remember to have read about Solaris in February.

I mean ....February 2015

Town Hall will be this weekend, accidentally leaked by Bombadil on the latest NGNG Pod Cast. You didn't hear it from me.

Most of the questions people *think* that should be asked are silly questions anyway. Half of them are always going to be answered with "Yes, we know that'd be good to have, we'll work on it when we can", or "Details will be forthcoming when we actually have details to give". What else do you think the answer will be?

Especially the "balance" questions. "Why aren't you balancing the game how I want you to balance it?!"

Hooboy.

2 out of 3 player-dev interactions that I know of, happen as described above. If you're familiar with Heroes and Generals, they too are big offenders.

To be fair, answering all at once would require the entirety of the town hall.

Which would be fantastic.

Better yet, why isn't Paul or Tina more involved in these? Gameplay mechanics and Community relations are going on.

What gives?

This is what I think this upcoming podcast will be like.

Whenever the next Town Hall is I can almost guarantee you that they won't make mention of or be asked about the promised Command Console buff.

Not sure if serious...

[TLBFestus]

I for one can't wait for the next town hall and the announcement of a new mech or mech pack.

Top it off with the sugary, cloying sight of NGNG guys fawning all over Russ like teenage groupies and it makes for "must see" viewing. Boy when they get going the hardball questions that they throw at Russ make People magazine and it's like seem like hardcore journalists.

Still, it must be worth it. There is a core of the community that laps up every bit as if it were real information.

[Xoxim SC]

If it didn't take 10 years for Russ to answer a simple question the Town Halls would be perfect. They keep going back to the same topics OVER, and OVER again and just keep resurrecting and beating the poor horse again. Can we at least find a new horse?

[Deathlike]

Well Gas, you succeeded in getting Russ to do one.

Of course... nothing of consequence about "Phase 3" aka "FW Season 1" will be addressed other than "working as intended™".

As long as I see Night Gyr sex art I'm good.
